Spikes Asia Festival Director Joe Pullos Steps Down

Spikes Asia’s Festival Director Joe Pullos has stepped down from his role to pursue other opportunities in APAC.

The extremely challenging business environment caused by Covid-19 crisis led to the cancellation of Spikes 2020. With the creative, media and marketing industries continuing to face unprecedented changes in the months ahead, Spikes Asia will be introducing a new festival model for 2021.

With changes afoot, Joe has decided to step down from his role and pursue other opportunities in Asia.

Philip Thomas, chairman of Cannes Lions and Spikes Asia, said: “We are grateful to Joe for his efforts in building Spikes to the region’s leading award for creativity and thank him for the passion and enthusiasm he brought to Spikes”.

Pullos commented: “I’ve had an amazing few years leading the festival, which has given me phenomenal experience in developing amazing content, partnerships, awards, operations as well as commercial leadership. My time at Spikes also allowed me to build an incredible network in APAC of the best in the creative communications industry. It’s now time for me to do something else and I’m honestly really excited about the next challenge in my career.”

The Spikes Asia team in Singapore will be led by Atifa Silk, Group Director at Haymarket Media Asia, effective immediately. Details of Spikes 2021 will be announced shortly.
